Beautiful way to get your bearings in Augusta. Graeme is a wealth of local knowledge! We loved his insights into the Blackwood, birds, history & local characters ?So much fun!
Had so much fun on this enjoyable and informative tour. The operator was iconically Australian with his larconic sense of humour, and went out of his way to drop us off at East Augusta. Highly recommend this tour. ?
